RE: Do bucks live with doe during the rut ?
TYPICALLY, A buck will chase until he's blue in the face until he comes across a doe that is receptive to breeding. When he does, he will stay with that doe and breed multiple times for 24 hours or so until she goes out of heat and then he is off again. Once this phase gets going it is typically much harder to kill a buck because he isnt moving a whole lot.
During the rut, I concentrate on two areas, funnels and food sources that I know the does are using. The bucks know they are using them too and will not be far behind.
